Biophysical model predicts nonreversing and slime-following agents required for CA formation. Reversing agents do not form CAs in the presence of adhesion (A) or with adhesion forces stronger than motor forces (B). Nonreversing agents form CAs in the absence (C) and in the presence (D) of adhesion. (E) Reversing agents with long reversing periods (70 min) initiate CA formation. (F) Nonreversing agents without slime following do not form CAs.
